If you think your Christmas Day, Dec. 25, was lonely because your father, mother, daughter or son is working abroad and couldn’t come home, think of the people who have lost their loved ones, homes and other material possessions in Baganga and Cateel towns in Davao Oriental and in New Bataan, Compostela Valley.

Think of how lucky you are that super Typhoon “Pablo” did not hit your town or city as it did the places mentioned previously.

Baganga, Cateel and New Bataan look like Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the Americans dropped atom bombs in these two sites in Japan during World War II.

* * *

Your congressman, governor or mayor may be corrupt— only a few public officials are not—but perhaps they are not as corrupt as the some of those in Davao Oriental province who engaged in, or tolerated, illegal logging.

Illegally cut logs rolled down the mountains of Baganga and Cateel at the height of Pablo, floated on the swollen rivers and bulldozed bridges and houses in the way of rampaging floodwaters.

Needless to say, the runaway logs killed many people and injured scores more.

* * *

I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet—Old Persian saying.

My dear readers—who are not from Baganga, Cateel and New Bataan—you are indeed lucky and should count your blessings!

The Aquino administration is persecuting officials who are not members of the Liberal Party at the drop of a hat.

Espino, who is running for reelection under the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), is being investigated by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for being allegedly involved in “jueteng.”

As an aside, which official, of a province where jueteng thrives, has not had his or her hands dirtied by jueteng money?

Interior Secretary Mar Roxas is the president of the Liberal Party whose member, Alaminos City Mayor Hernani Braganza, is Espino’s opponent for the gubernatorial post.

Garcia has been suspended by the DILG for a minor misdeed she allegedly committed years ago so her vice governor, a sister of Secretary Rene Almendras, can take over.

The moves were so obvious!

* * *

Governor Garcia, by not stepping down, is disobeying the DILG suspension order.

And Vice President Jojo Binay is aggravating the tense situation in Cebu by encouraging Garcia to stay put.

Binay, of all people, should not have visited her in Cebu with his allies because being a lawyer and the second highest official of the land, he should uphold the rule of law.

* * *

Binay’s act is an open declaration of war on the President.

The DILG issued the suspension order.

Being an office within the executive branch, it is under the President.

So by extension, it was the President who issued the suspension order.

* * *

The latest news I received from Compostela Valley is that there were more deaths that were recorded in Mt. Diwalwal, a mining area in Compostela Valley, than in New Bataan town.

Most of the victims were miners who were in the tunnels when Pablo struck Compostela Valley.

It’s all about power and money with all these powerful people. Aquino wants more power so he attacks those who go against him that threaten his power. And Binay also wants more power so he sides with people who can bring him more power or he chooses to go against particular individuals because he feels it will look good and once again thus bring him even more notoriety which adds to his power.

The Filipino voters should now be wise in picking their candidates for elective posts. If they don’t, they are the same people who will suffer the sad fate as what happned to those places hit by typhoon Pablo. In fact, graft and corruption made the situation in Davao Oriental and other provinces worse.

I lived for almost 15 long years in the United States, Japan & Europe- Itong DEFIANCE of Laws by Politicians is ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES !!!

Kaya hindi UMAASENSO ang Pilipinas ! We have the WORST Politicians who TRULY TREAT the Philippines like they CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT & THAT THEY FEEL that they are the KINGS of the country!

CAN YOU IMAGINE, the Country’s Vice President, the country’s Senate President, & the country’s FORMER President- ALL Directly DEFYING the Law & Defying the Office of the President????? !!!!!

Sa Japan, there was ONLY TWO Incidence of a Government Official Ordered to Step Down while I was living there. In BOTH CASES, Both Japanese Politicians IMMEDIATELY STEPPED DOWN with 1 HOUR of the court order !!! WALANG PROTEST, WALANG IYAKAN, WALANG DEFIANCE! In fact, BOTH Japanese Politicians made a PUBLIC APOLOGY Immediately even if NOT required by law !!!

In Britain, I witnessed TWO TIMES where a member of the UK Legislature was ordered by the court to STEP down due to pending investigation- BOTH Legislators STEPPED DOWN WITHIN the SAME day!!!!! In 24 Hours, BOTH Legislators packed their bags & went home! NO DRAMA, NO DEFIANCE, WALANG Anti- Government protest!

Sa United States, I experienced a two House Members, and 1 Mayor ordered to VACATE their post due to legal issue. ALL THREE LEFT their Post WITHOUT Protest, NO DRAMA, WALANG IYAKAN, WALANG PROTEST !!!!

Frankly, Binay, Erap, Enrile & their sons Jinggoy & Jackie will REALLY DAMAGE our COUNTRY once they TAKE OVER !!!

While Millions of Filipinos work as OFW’s like Slaves in the worst conditions !!!!

ManongOsang

As a Japanese observer once commented about the Philippines.

He Directly & Honestly stated… the DIFFERENCE between a country like the Philippines versus a country like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Singapore is frankly the People’s LOVE of country !!!!

He said you will have a TOUGH TIME FINDING a Japanese, a Korean, Taiwanese or a Singaporean who DOES NOT Put his or her Country FIRST before even his family or himself.

He said that’s why you will FIND the CORRUPTION of Politicians & abuse of fellow citizens DRASTICALLY MUCH LESS among Japanese BECAUSE for MOST Japanese men & women- EVERYTHING they do is STILL based on making sure its FOR the GOOD of their Nation!!!

They are SO VERY CONCERNED about the WELL BEING of their country that the RESPECT for country is HIGHER than even Family!

Thats why in world war 2, Japanese Soldiers in the thousands would COMMIT Suicide in defeat or Japanese fighter pilots would commit KAMIKAZE against US Ships. In other words, Dying for their country was common & a noble act.

He said while in the Philippines, for most Filipinos & Filipino Politicians…

its..

ME & FAMILY FIRST
WEALTH, MONEY & STATUS SYMBOL
GOD
SOCIAL CIRCLE OF CLOSE FRIENDS
COUNTRY.

Saying you are PROUD of the Philippines is VERY EASY to SAY, but actually PRACTICING DISCIPLINE that will BENEFIT the Philippines & DOING EVERYTHING based on LOVE of COUNTRY FIRST is 100 TImes harder to do for Filipinos!

Japan experienced THE worst natural disaster in Modern times! DID YOU EVER SEE LOOTING & STEALING among the millions of Desperate, Hungry, suffering Japanese people????

Did you see the Japanese cutting in the thousands of People lined up for food?

The Philipines has a VERY VERY LONG WAY TO GO !

And it starts with Voters who KEEP VOTING for Politicians who RAPE the country again & again!

Cheering For Many Pacquaio, Cheering For Donaire, Cheering for the Philippine Azkals is VERY VERY EASY !!!

That does NOT PROVE TRUE LOVE of country! Anyone can do cheer for a sports team!

Its actually PUTTING YOUR COUNTRY FIRST even if its hard ! That’s the real test!

I would say ONLY 10%-15% of Filipino politicians have that mentality!

But 85% to 90% of Politicians are JUST LIKE 85%-90% of Filipino citizens who say they Love & our Proud of the Philippines BUT actually DO THE OPPOSITE when face with opportunities to STEAL, CHEAT, ABUSE & TAKE ADVANTAGE of our country & our people

I lived 20 years across America and the UK, I fathom the same!

We defied the Spaniards, the Americans, the Japanese, the Marcoses, etc. now the people are defying the present administration because of their attitude towards their perceived enemies. It is not a negative behavior because the Filipinos believe there is a cause for such. To say that we should be obedient to the rulers has an exemption. Didn’t the Filipinos took the teaching of Catholics and Spaniards hook, line, and sinker for 400 years, until our heroes said “Enough is enough?”

If only the elite, the rich, the ruling class have managed the affairs well then no ordinary Juan dela Cruz will rise against them. If only the incumbent president will rule with justice and mercy, even his political enemies will bow and respect him. As far as I remember, Ninoy Aquino once said, “never give your enemies the opportunity to justify their counter action” or words to that effect. His begotten son does not seem to follow this magnificent theorem.

Peter,

The people are NOT defying PNOY. Its’ Binay, Enrile, Erap & their supporters who are DEFYING the Government.

Huwag MO kami isama as the ” People ” mo!

You DEFIED Marcos???

So why are you siding with the SAME Man who for 20 Long Years, was the Architect & Implementer of Martial Law in Enrile???

So why are you siding with the CONVICTED PLUNDERER in Erap?

So why are you siding with a man who came into power as a Mayor in 1986 who was Living in an Apartment & had NO ASSETS- in 20 years as Mayor… is NOW a Certified close to BILLIONAIRE Filipino politician.. Who CANNOT & HAS NEVER EXPLAINED HOW IS ACCUMULATED his UNEXPLAINED MASSIVE WEALTH ???

Huwag mo kaming isama sa ” The People” mo dahil ikaw lang yung.

Its morons like you who keep people like Enrile & the Ejercitoes in power all these years despite the DAMAGE that they do to the nation.

Binay must be very very careful in going against the government IF he intends to run for the Presidency… HE MIGHT END UP like the Coronas…. and lost all his billions … i mean..the illgotten billions he has accumulated in the past 20 yrs. Baka akala niya isa na siyang higanteng langaw na nakadapo sa likod ng kalabaw. Filipinos… isip-isip sa taong eto dahil LAHAT ng pinaghirapan ng kasalukuyang Presidente ay mapupunta lang sa wala kung ang maliit na ulikbang eto ang uupo sa Plaasyo.

So Tulfo by way of your logic. Ok din rin lang magnakaw lahat ng public officials because everyone else is doing it. WTf. may topak talaga to si Mon Tulfo.

http://profile.yahoo.com/DC6NG5LRTD3HOCQPAYFQ53NWIY Crisanto

You are right! If Tulfo’s friend is the one being accused. He will say ok lang lahat naman nagnanakaw. If not his friend condemned agad sa kanya. Hypocrite… He preach about God but we dont know who is his god.

Binay is scared, his governor cronies together with the vote rich provinces they control will fall on LP’s hands come next year’s elections. It’s expected of him to do something this early and make noise.

YOU CAN NOT BE SURE NOW. DAVIDE LOST THE ELECTION NOT BY MUCH. NOW, THE MAGPALE FACTOR IS TOO HUGE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED. SHE BBELONGS TO THE DORANO CLAN WHO SUPPORTED BEFORE THE SUSPENDED GOVERNOR AND NOW UNDER THE LP BANNER. TO DEMONSTRATE THE RELEVANCY OF THE DORANO FACTOR, MAGPLE GARNERED THE MOST VOTES AS A BOARD MEMBER OF THE PROVINCE.

Binay, of all people, should not have visited her in Cebu with his allies because being a lawyer and the second highest official of the land, he should uphold the rule of law.
Mr Tulfo, since when did this administration follow the rule of law?

goodH2O

Sana iniwas nya position nya. assuming mali ang office of the president and he being vice-president should have clarified the order and act as facilitator in the implementation and encourage the governor to leave and wait for her TRO request.

FIRST STEP, Publicly ADMONISH Vice President Binay for his ACTIONS in the Garcia case! THIS IS IT PNOY… Its Time to BREAK Friendly ties with Binay !!!

Binay NEEDS you MORE than you need him !!! Presidente ka, You are still in Power!

Binay is still TRYING to BUILD his Evil Empire for 2013 & 2016!

Sabihin mo sa taong bayan na, ” Nakakita ka na ba ang Vice President who is also Cabinet member of mine who DIRECTLY & PUBLICLY DEFIES BOTH the Law & the Office of the President which HE HIMSELF is a part of ??? ”

Have you seen a sitting Vice President LITERALLY Encouraging & supporting a person to GO AGAINST the Law of our Land ???

SECOND STEP, Its TIME to FINALLY TAKE ENRILE out of the Senate Presidency!

Johnny Enrile took the Final Step of HITTING you by publicly Backing Gwen Garcia & DEFY the Office of the President.

Manong Osang & the rest of the guys here…. Kudos, for taking a firm stand against these dynastic, greedy and corrupt government officials. Hope you can continue to influence and inspire our fellow Pinoys to choose brightly and vote wisely this coming 2013 elections.

Binay is the most corrupt politician – its not surprising he would back another.

Why is the Philippine elite so irresponsible?Well, compared to its Asian neighbors, the Philippine elite never feltreally threatened by communism. South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia,Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia at one time or another faced “lifeand death” crisis fostered by the communist threat.South Korea, which started out more backward than the industrializedNorth Korea, had no choice. Its military essentially told the businesselite to behave, or else all of them would be overrun by the NorthKorean communists.Fleeing the communists, the Kuomintang-led Chinese government settledin Taiwan. As outsiders to the island, the Kuomintang-led governmentcould institute land reform and the ever-present threat of a Communistinvasion forced its elite to become responsible.Singapore was a tiny island with few resources and which faced acommunist insurgency. Lee Kwan Yew and Singapore’s political elitebattled back by building a strong bureaucracy and adopting manysocialist elements (state ownership of key enterprises, socializedhousing, etc.) while embracing foreign investments and free markets.The same story was replicated in other countries like Malaysia,Thailand and Indonesia. Their respective elites rose to the occasionand led their respective countries to wipe out poverty, strengthenpublic institutions and develop economically.On the other hand, the Philippine elite became an anomaly and seemed tofollow the Latin American model, unable and unwilling to lift thecountry out of its quagmire. Rather than acting as leaders, thePhilippine elite, true to the rules of booty capitalism, acts more likepirates, preying on the state and the people.

Ito naman sa mga political Elite of the Philippines: Ohmmmm

As Hutchcroft puts it, “There has been little incentive for oligarchs
themselves to press for a more predictable political order, because
their major preoccupation is the need to gain or maintain favorable
proximity to the political machinery. Even those oligarchs temporarily
on the outs with of the regime exert far more effort in trying to get
back into favor than in demanding profound structural change.”

Being the vice president, he should support the president at all cost as member of president’s cabinet and not undermine the decision of the executive even if there views are different. If he wants to go against the decision of the president he should resign from the cabinet and then after he can do what he wants. This is only shows the bad character of our vice president Binay…by shaming the president by his an appropriate action as member of the president’s cabinet.

Please. Aquino is simply showing that he has political will to enforce the law, even if it risks going against a powerful regional political clan. This is not vengeance; this is the rule of law finally catching up to those who have violated it. Kung corrupt ka, hahabulin ka.

Mga Ka-alyado ni Erap & Binay. They want a CHA CHA that will be In Effect starting with the Next President in 2016.

Talagang may planong mag extend sa power itong si Binay at Erap families pag nahawakan na nila. They are PUSHING for ALLOWING a President & Vice President to STAY for TWO TERMS!!!

Binay wife linked to Php72.06-M graft

A FORMER whistleblower in high-profile graft corruption controversies turned-head of government’s financial watchdog yesterday linked the wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay, an incumbent and several former Makati City officials to alleged deception in the public bidding for a Php72.06 million supply contract awarded by the city government in 2001.

To have a mistress, does it will harm the country ?
Obviously not if using a condom to avoid baby or MST transmission to innocents !

Corruptions killing more than any other calamities,
to focus on corruptions is more useful than to be a sex delator.
A man who never had a mistress, it can be said,
he is a bakla, bayout or eunuch, same same same with Clergy

The recipe of the most successful countries, is no, or almost no corruptions at all,
remember corruption is number one killing bacteria, a Pandemic in RP.

The former mayor(now Vice President)was charged in 2006 for allegedly bypassing the bidding procedure in favor of Office Gallery International Inc.

Binay was questioned over the anomalous purchase of office fixtures and furniture for the new Makati City Hall from private contractor Office Gallery International from December 1999 to February 2000. The contract was allegedly overpriced by P3.6 million.

This is a wake up call to all Filipino Voters.

The UNA Leaders Name: Binay, Estrada, Enrile.

2013 Election do not vote for any UNA Candidates.

However if they try to bribe you – take the money for that is people money but do not vote for them.

VP Binay definitely is not a good presidential material. He once protected a frat brod suspected of lobbing a grenade during the bar exams. Now he is supporting a governor accused of abuse of authority. I guess Ms. Corina is absolutely correct in describing this politician after all.

if we don’t suppress the UNA’s candidates for 2013; by 2016, we will, in all likelihood, address the man from makati with; “hail to the king”…..hopefully, he will just wind up to be the “little” man from makati who was turned down to be king….so, voters, BEWARE of the “THREE WISE GUYS”…..these three filipino pinnochios’ noses are getting longer and longer everytime they talk lies on how abundance is in store for all of us when they become the rulers of our country……..

Why are you choosing Hiroshima as an example as you have a better one

I have hard time to understand the differences between legal and illegal loggings,
what about saw mills and the end users, do there is legal and illegal officials.
I feel like it’s a Jesuit casuistic case, isn’t it ?

Almost every politicians are corrupt, some more than others,
every dismissal can be said to be a revenge.

“Pablo” tragic victims are evaluated at 1500 !

“Pabing” Garcia family victims not yet evaluated, may I remember corruption kill !

TB victims, if I remember well, are yearly 30’000, only !
With the stollen money by Erap, TB could have been easily eradicated from the country !

How many Kids where killed by the Cebu Garcia’s ?

Corruption is in fact hundred’s time worst than any calamities,
what about Enrile, Erap, Binay and the Garcia’s, all together ?
equivalent of 1000 Years of calamities victims ?
A super vomiting decoction tea !

Happy New Year !

I agree with Mon that Binay should have supported the decision of the DILG secretary because that decision is also the decision of the President. I am reiterating my previous suggestion that this Binay should be removed immediately from the cabinet. He will never be a team player in President Noynoy’s cabinet because all his energies, intentions and objectives now are all directed towards his obsession to become president of the Philippines in 2016. . .

the ripple effect! if the highest official of the land constantly violates the rule of law, then so will the second highest official. down to the the third, fourth, fifth, so on and so forth. and if government officials do it, so will civilians! more fun in the Philippines, ain’t it?

pubringjuandelacruz

just because more people are committing crimes it doesn’t justify that it is right.
are you going to teach your children that it is alright to do bad things as long as it is also been committed by other people?

disqusted0fu

you totally missed the point of what im trying to say. all im saying is that if our supposed leaders are committing crimes themselves, then most people will follow. thats why the good leaders are supposed to lead by example. too bad a good leader is not what we have.

pubringjuandelacruz

good leaders in our country are hard to find especially nowadays. its like looking for a rear gem in a desert – that’s how rare it is.

you know what is common in our country, uneducated people who only knows so little that their primary concern is just to live every day and at least eat 3x a day.

IMHO, we don’t need good leaders, what we need are respectful and discipline people. People who knows the difference of right and wrong. We start by teaching our children/family about the law and how important to respect it.

In return, he makes sure they all stay in power.

$14141131

Mr. Tulfo, Binay knows that the suspension is illegal since it is partisan politically-motivated. He experienced the same during your former close friend’s administration. Now, Nhoynhoy is unabashedly doing the same.

Nhoynhoy is a biased, insensible President. How could he disregard the illegal logging involvement of the Davao Oriental officials when he himself went to the area and saw the denuded mountains. He must be having second thoughts because the governor and congressman are running unopposed (per your report.) An immediate investigation must be done so others will not follow the provincial leaders-dealers.

More so, the victims are not receiving relief goods if not for some NGOs despite the hyped hundreds of millions donations for Pablo victims. Somehow somewhere, the money must got waylaid for the coming election. Can’t the President be transparent on the money so the Pablo victims would know how much were given to their officials and where did the donations go? A simple order on the DILG to post the distribution details in affected areas will be enough, that is if he is honest enough about the money.

litotan

the belief of binay about the legality of the order is his personal belief, if he really believed so. but the suspension of garcia is the conclusion by the duly constituted authority which is binding and executory. purE and simple.

$14141131

The so-called “duly constituted authority”‘s decision is still subject to law. Abuse of authority can be questioned in courts. Or the courts could decide if these decision doesn’t have any mal-influence of partisan politics or arbitrary acts to favor a group or individual or unfairness which is the cup of tea of spoiled, partisan politicians in the government.Democracy in the nation gets awkward turns during election time.

$14141131

Binay fights and he always means it. And I am sure of this. I think it is time that someone stands on the way of Nhoynhoy evertime he orders despicable and childish brunts taken from advices of the President’s turncoat or left-leaning advisers. Nhoynhoy without him knowing it has his administration slowly disintegrate because of the effect of the advices from former GMA boys.

Basic strategy for any administration is to do a controversial action so the focus of the public will not be on their corruption, illegal and paltry dispensation. Ex. CCT, Pablo foreign donations, brownouts, unemployment, crimes and so forth.

i’m sorry but sad to say you’re one of the diehardfans of GMA ,the most corrupt President of the Phil . in history.

$14141131

I am never a fan of any President as I comment on matters they’ve done fairly and justly as I could. What will I get to subject myself to fanaticism of partisan politicians who are bringing trouble to the nation? GMA’s former ilks are the ones involve in the devastation of forest in Davao Oriental.

But like GMA, Nhoynhoy is looking at the blind side. The corrption-friendly CCT doleout was a GMA program that Nhoynhoy is following again – blindly, I suppose – pouring billions of pesos (P21 billion and P45 billion next year) from loaned billion dollars from ADB that lade the taxpayers. It is a CCT in continuing corruption and treachery.

Now, may I ask you. Which do you want the P66 billion be invested, in doleouts that don’t have clear returns but just politicking or in putting up industries that could improve the economy and provide stable jobs like shipbuilding for modern fishing boats, power development to stop brownouts in Mindanao, factories of farm tractors and other related implements, railway system expansion and improvement to protect people? There is a long list of economic projects that could empower the people.

A P10 billion can already put up a shipbuilding for the fishing boats that benefits the industry forever, from the plant workers to fishermen to fish processing to sales market to exporters and so on.

How do you feel now?

‘The Aquino administration is persecuting officials who are not members of the Liberal Party at the drop of a hat.’

Because God forbid public officials actually be investigated, amirite?

And a Binay presidency would be a disaster. That’s coming from someone who’s lived in Makati all his life. Makati has done well IN SPITE OF Binay, not because of him.

is it not possible that only those who belong to another party are not behaving wisely?

About time the gloves were off. Binay should stop this silly charade. He is riding on two ponies. The Aquino pony and the UNA pony. It is unfair to PNoy. It is unfair to the UNA. Ride your own pony, and ride hard for your hoods, Mr. Binay.

Ahh..but .. duplicity seems to be your favorite cup of tea these days.

As for PNoy, time to face reality. Binay is your friend but he is taking advantage of your friendship. Your hands are tied. Binay has tied it. Time to break free from Binay’s tricks.

Binay is a corrupt and trapo politician who is only interested in himself and his family’s political dynasty. He surely is not interested in upholding the laws of this country. For him to be elected as president of this country would be a huge step backward for the progress of this country.

ARIKUTIK

Manila Malacanang had declared war on Cebuanos by suspending Garcia. The corrupt head of an Abnoy can not be hidden anymore.

allen riquez

you’re wrong my friend, in fact this is an initial victory of the cebuanos. If you hate the President, don’t make Garcia the hero.

gwenbalili

the garcia dynasty of cebu is the ampatuan of maguindanao. the P2B cash left by gov. lito osmena is now gone.

mari suli

Tonto ka.Gwen Garcia is not Cebu.Ulaw gani mi sa iyang gibuhat.

2loving

Its quite the Opposite. . . The administration is the one giving Cebuanos a favor. . .

garcia is not the cebuanos and the cebuanos are not garcia. as per oliver cromwell statement, “the king is not england and england is not the king.” otherwise, your conclusion is based on your r illogical inferences.

Jojo Maling

Wait a minute … it’s also possible Binay tried to persuade Garcia to follow the law and seek redress through due process.

INQ_reader

How can this be? The lawful order was for Gwen to be suspended and an acting governor put in her place. She clearly defined this lawful order.

Guest

Remember, when De Lima simply ignored the TRO from the Supreme Court?

jurbinsky77

That TRO was flawed.

INQ_reader

Is there, if any, TRO that is being ignored in the case of Gwen?

Guest

You were man talking about lawful order. Isn’t a supreme order also a “lawful order”, analogously?

it”s possible, and if so, it is als possible that gov. garcia did not listened to him. hence, his kind of leadership is also questionable.

The Lord of Makati

Written by Miriam Grace A. Go
Wednesday, 28 March 2001
Can Binay explain his wealth? In
less than a decade, Jejomar “Jojo” Binay, former chair of the Metro
Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and former mayor of Makati,
accumulated at least P80 million worth of real estate properties in
Makati and Batangas, which he kept undeclared, our investigation shows.
The amount excludes P12 million in declared investments, as well as
other businesses that he and his friends reportedly control through
dummy corporations. After serving as mayor for 12 years, Binay now
owns a 66-hectare farm in Rosario, Batangas—estimated to be almost
double the size of the Ayala
commercial center in Makati—according to our investigation. Based on
conservative estimates of the land value alone, the property—excluding
improvements—is worth about P23 million. In addition, Binay and his
wife, Elenita, current Makati mayor, also own at least two Hidalgo
condominium units, located inside the posh Rockwell Center in Makati. A
208-squae meter unit in Rockwell, like the ones occupied by each of the
two Binay daughters, costs around P28 million. The three properties
alone, worth at least P79 million, were never declared in the couple’s
statement of assets and liabilities. This is in violation of RA
6713, which mandates all officials to file every year the acquisition
cost and the assessed and fair market values of their real property.
They are also required by law to list other personal property,
investments, cash on hand or in banks, financial liabilities, and their
business interests and connections. Violation
of the law carries certain penalties—a P5,000-fine and disqualification
from public office. Unfortunately, officials take the law lightly as
none of them have been put behind bars for their transgressions. Former
President Joseph Estrada himself was previously caught committing the
same mistake. We interviewed at least 15 contractors, former
employees and farm hands, sources privy to transactions, and local
residents who saw Binay inspect the properties, and who all confirmed
his ownership of these properties. Without these testimonies it would be
difficult to trace ownership to him because documents, if they are
available at all, do not link him or his family members to the
properties.

Marami nagawa si binay sa makati. Thats true. But i doubt if he can replicate that in the whole country.

Makati is the premier city in the Philippines. The richest probably. It’s because of the huge investment of the Ayalas. In fact many a local government beautification functions have been undertaken by the Ayala. Many business in the nation have their corporate offices in Makati providing huge income for Makati.

If you put Binay as mayor of Caloocan or maybe Pasay, i dont think he can do for the people of Caloocan or Pasay what he did for the people in Makati.

Politicians who practice political dynasty should not be voted . Ano na lang ang mang ya-yari kung puro mag ka-kamag anak ang naka luklok sa puwesto….ano pa, they can manipulate any transactions good or bad for the people as they will be protecting one another, and with this corruption will be very rampant. So we should not patronize these politicians in the in-coming election if we real want to have clean gov’t otherwise there is no point of complaining if we don’t do the right thing.

litotan

do not lost your hope. just help educate the people to vote wisely. i think it was dr. rizal who said, “kung walang magpaloko walang manluloko.”

$14141131

I agree with PAZ. Makati provided the catalyst that brought Pasig, Mandaluyong, Muntinlupa, Quezon City and other commercial centers in Metro Manila to follow suit. Dynasty is not the cause of the problem in the country. It is the ignorant management by politicians, from top to bottom, that spells the present convoluted administration of the government.

Granting that Garcia is corrupt, say, from the CICC lamp post, what took the anti-corruption superhero Nhoynhoy to act for so loooonnnnngggg a time? And unfortunately, his mythical anti-corruption campaign was never – I repeat, was never – felt by the people in Davao Oriental where mountains are now bald because of illegal logging by allies of GMA, the congressman and governor. All talk, no walk.

lennonpaul

You cannot slaughter a giant mosnter overnight thats been growing since time immemorial. Reform is hardest bec we are in a democratic place, that even our judiciary is full of hoodlums. Its easy to whine when you are not the president. Let us give the presdient the chance and wait for his term to finish. He may not even irradicate corruption in our country but compared to past leaders i think he is the most sincere and clean. Thats why he was given the mandate by the people.
About this political dynasty do you really believe that some are letting thier relatives run for post not becuase they are protecting their vested interest??wake up.

jurbinsky77

Gwen commited a lot of corruption during the reign of gloria arroyo, and arroyo would never lift a finger to execute the laws of the land. It is Mar Roxas now and he is pushing these local executives to toe the line, uphold the law and perform accordingly. This suspension was borne by the abuse of power she committed during the tenure of the deceased vice-governor.

Makati district was a private enclave of the Ayalas, Ortigas district of the Ortigas clan, Quezon City of the Aranetas, etc You should mention also how the taipans like Sy, Gokongwei, etc are doing to lift the city from disorderly and chaotic layout to something that nice, clean and desirable to go..

There is nothing in the Philippines that you can say become nice and prosperous because of the local executives, but then again Puerto Princesa is a model of cleanliness and probably Davao City in some other aspects.

Let me ask you. Do you rwant to eliminate graft and corruption or you will just make mockerry of the leaders who want change for the better?

litotan

you are absolutely correct. i know that info log time ago from the grandson of one of the ayalas planners.

Makati’s Progess = BINAY? Hell No!

$14141131

Why?

litotan

may we knowwhenthe alleged over pricing happened and who was the president at the time? if there was an investigation when was that? . how long it lasted and what was the result? i am asking those questions believing its relevancy in determining whether your accusation holds water. with respect to illegal logging operations, were threre complaints filed by anybody against those illegal loggers? if there was none, how can you expect the president to act considering the executive branch of government physical limitation.

$14141131

There is the system in an organization that defines the flow of command and responsibility like in the government. That is why there is a President, Vice-President, Dept. Secretaries and their regional and other officials, Congress, Justice Department, regional officials, provincial officials, town offiicials, barrio officials, down to the lowest government staff. You learned this in your elementary and high school lessons.

What you are saying can hold water to those unexposed to management. You can call your department officials to investigate what you saw and demand all the necessary records from DENR at the tip of your finger. It’s too foolish to wait for someone to file a case before you take action. What then is the government for? If that will be the case, the country will be in chaos. And it would be a disgrace to the lofty position of the President if the holder doesn’t know delegation to operate the government and run after illegalities. To make this a better government, discipline, dignity, nationalism and pro-active management are what are needed.

litotan

WITH RESPECT THE SECOND PARA IN YOUR ANSWER, THE DETERMINING FACTOR THEN IS, “WHAT YOU SAW”. THEN, IF I SAW NOTHING THE DEMAND FOR THE RECORD IS NOT EXPECTED. I REST MY CASE.

$14141131

Just one thing. Is Nhoynhoy blind? If he is then I rest my case too.

litotan

i was just using your line of reasoning to response to your thesis, and your response to my answer is quite interesting. your are maybe assuming that noynoy is has the ability to know everything within the country, which is impractical for it ignores human limitation. you in your case, i doubt if you know everything what is happening in your neighborhood. if you know everything, you are the exception. if you want the government, either the national or local to hear your concern, let either of them know. that’s your right and responsibility as a good citizen of the country. by the way i used to live in cateel, davao oriental and i know the remoteness of the place.

IF WE ARE TO CONSIDER YOUR LINE OF REASONING , I AM NOT SURPRISED WHY THE COUNTRY IS LAGGING BEHIND ECONOMICALLY. IT”S A MENTALLITY OF A losser. BAHALA NA KUNG KAWATAN BASTA MARAMING NAGAWA. DO YOU NOT THINK THAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IF ALL THE FUNDS WERE USED HONESTLY. MAGNANAKAW IS MAGNANAKAW. IT IS A CRIME AGAINST MORAL TURPETUDE. WE ARE NOT ELECTING PEOPLES TO STEAL OUR MONEY BUT TO MANAGE IT WISELY.

litotan

so you are in favor of political dynasty. in the case of binay, before he was against but now he is in favor. it IS FLIP FLOPPING PURE AND SIMPLE Why? simple! he is now the number culprit. becase of it he lost his moral compass. a while ago. just to appease the marcoses he was in favor of burying the dictator in libingan ng mga bayani at the expense of national sentiments and interest. why? ……. kayo na ang bahahang sasagot.

abusive politicians who abuse nature are responsible for the natural destruction;
just as pervert people who defy natural laws on sex bring hiv/aids havoc on themselves;
seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish.

it’s time for binay and noykapon to square off. so the country will be spared from one of them: the maligno or the sinto-sinto. ubo ubo ubo.

I agree with the comment about the suspension of Gov. Gwen Garcia. Why should she these are all politically motivated, when in fact all she had to do was answer the charges, and if proven false, then these are all politicking/muslinging. But as long as she cannot explain those charges hurled against her, she has no business saying so.

http://profile.yahoo.com/KSOV6X7PQ57FMQJMHHNLX2ID2E butch_25_2003

band1do

So much drama and BS Philippine politics. Binay would be outcast in the developed countries if this where to happen. An executive order is an executive order. The Aquino admin did not issue this out of spite but out of pure procedure Be careful in the 2016 presidential election, lest Arroyo’s ally, the ‘little, dark evil’ man be elected president of the republic.

pubringjuandelacruz

if we’re so disgust with Trapos its about time that we educate ourselves, our families and love ones on how to vote properly. and how important their votes if a Trapo wins in the election.

that is the only thing that we can do to prevent Trapos from entering in to our government.

at least roxas is committed to eradicate corruption, which is the number one problem of the country.

dxdaistar

committed only for campaign purposes. Roxas for Senator lang..ok ako.

litotan

anti-corruptions under this administration is in line with noynoy and mar
promise during the last election. what we can see today, our positive economic outkook, is a living proof that their promise is not only a political rhetoric but a promise that is fulfilling in front of our eyes,

i am not aware of what you are talking about. if that is true then binay should have been directly envolved on it either as a lawyer or as a strong believer of equal protection of law. but unfortunately for your binay, he said nothing about it. do i have to understand that your analysis of the circumtances is not the same with his or he is just selective?

I cannot even imagined why Binay as the country’s second highest official of the land openly against the President’s order regarding Garcia’s suspension.He should upheld the law besides Binay is one of the Cabinet member of the present administration.Binay, your protecting Gwen because she is the member of UNA, assuming that she will have to deliver votes in your presidential campaign. Sorry, but it will never happen because Gwen and the Garcia dynasty is already fallen like a dead tree.If Binay, knows what is the real sentiment of the Cebuano people then for sure he will have to think otherwise regarding his open support to Gwen.The p[roof of the matter is that Gwen won during the past election by a very slim margin even if the majority of the cebu mayors are with her against Hilario Davide Jr.The irony, was that she won because of the support of the Bakud Party to which the Acting Governor Agnes Magpale is a member.

maybe, and i hope you to support roxas for the sake of the country. roxas is one of the archetics in the anti-corruption crusade of this administration.

litotan

noynoy and whosoeve are willing to carry the torch that he and mar have started deserve full support. it”s a big-big mistake to go back to the politics of corruptions. pnoy is our hope. we have to inspire him to go on and on.

batid

Yes I agree. Philippine political system must move on the right path and the only president that has the guts that had he done already is our President Noynoy a true leader is his heart and spirit.
Let us move on and head on to all obstacles that blocked the long awaited change needed by our country.
Noy and Mar for a good change.

Binary proves that old dogs are difficult to teach new tricks such as matuwid na daan. As Vice President he should be encouraging people to follow the law but rather encourages his corrupt party mates to dis obey the law. it shows what kind of politicians UNA has all corrupt. No politician on his right mind would want to be under the banner of a party headed by old corrupt dogs.

JV Velarde

For the country to move forward & become a first world country, we should have less or totally none of the Estrada’s, Enrile’s, Marcose’s, Binay’s & Arroyo’s in governance.

Enrile should be in jail for his role in the martial law regime, the Marcose’s should just return all their billion dollar loot, the Estrada’s together with the Binay’s should stop pretending they are for the poor & the Arroyo’s should be kept in the National Bilibid prison for all the sins they’ve committed while in power.

As long as these people are around, our country we’ll just be a trying hard nation of fools.

Binay wife linked to Php72.06-M graft

A FORMER whistleblower in high-profile graft corruption controversies turned-head of government’s financial watchdog yesterday linked the wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay, an incumbent and several former Makati City officials to alleged deception in the public bidding for a Php72.06 million supply contract awarded by the city government in 2001.

ztefertilizerscam9

The former mayor now( Vice President)was charged in 2006 for allegedly bypassing the bidding procedure in favor of Office Gallery International Inc.

Binay was questioned over the anomalous purchase of office fixtures and furniture for the new Makati City Hall from private contractor Office Gallery International from December 1999 to February 2000. The contract was allegedly overpriced by P3.6 million.

“Garcia has been suspended by the DILG for a minor misdeed she allegedly committed years ago” – minor misdeed?? Please check your facts right and who can rightly say “minor” in any misdeed of a public official who is supposed to serve the public. Gwen for poorly misjudging the Cebuanos for thinking that what she’s doing now is justifiable when it is simply shameful.

If Gov. Guwen Garcia is not in the opposition party I will be more incline to believe that what has been done to her (suspend in her political position) is an honest to goodness proof that Mr. President is sincere in his drive against corruption/s, but the trouble is the timing and the fact that Mrs.Garcia in not a Liberal Party politician,therefore I as well as other believe that what has been done is a sort of an elimination, di po ba??????

litotan

no, it is not. her suspension is a direct result of her desrespect to the people who elected the late vice gov. . talking of timing, when do you think is th proper time to affect the suspension? after the election when her term has to expire? and the sentence will be then became moot and academic. you must be kidding. justice delayed, justice denied. the action against the gov. was filed two years ago and waiting more years to pass before affecting the sentence is not within the interest of justice. if the result of suspending those abussive politicians result to elimination, so be it. the peoples deserve better.

somebody told me that there three kinds of peoples: 1) those who know the past only, 2) those who know the present only and, 3) those who know the past, the present and foresight of the future. based on the premises that you quoted on your arguement it seem you belong to the first category and even worse than that because what you have stated do not have factual value. it is a blatant distortion of what happened and what is happning in our country today.hoping for your success but, please update yourself on the current events.

rauloreto

there is only one glaring fact here, Binay and his UNA team would rather protect law=breakers and corrupt officials and be popular than to follow what really is right and lawful.

probably because noynoy honestly believes in the innocense of padaca and padaca”s offense is bailable. in the case of aroyo, her offense probably is not bailable. but, in both cases everything is part of legal process. it could have been objectionable if noynoy encouraged either impliedly or expressly padaca to evade serving her sentence after judgment , and in both cases, to enfluence the courts in its judgments. besides , there”s nothing wrong in helping a friend so long as it is moral and legal.

Which is why the executive branch , must be separated from the legislative and judicary branch. With the parliamentary system these powers are separate.

litotan

not really. the prime minister is a member of the parliament.

sarahmusker

Yes, the prime minister who is the head of the party that has the majority of seats in government, is the head of parliament. The party in power with its head of office has the Executive function – i.e. the running of government. The legislative function is, though carried out in parliament, answers to the head of state. In Britain it is the Queen along with the judiciary, in other countries the president ensures that the rights of the people have not been violated when parliament create laws. The legislative function is a completely different matter, as they have what is called a shadow government, usually the biggest party in opposition, the function of which is to scrutinize and analyse every move of the party in power on behalf of the people. Therefore, there is a constant check on what government is doing by constant shadowingof existing government.

litotan

sorry! i was in the assumption that you were talking about separation of powers.under the parliamentary system of government unlike the presidential the body is unicameral not bicameral. to prove my points you can research it under check an balances or mabe under the subject of comparative governments. frankly, itis my understanding that the executive, legislative and judiciarcy branches of goverment are co-equal, co-ordinate and co-independent.. and, under the parliamentary system the same can only be true betwen the parliament and the judiciary.

However, wala na tayong choice sa 2016 dahil sila na ang nasa pag iisip nang mga Filipino. Who will be PNoys bet? I am sure he will not be between Mar and Jojo but he will support Mar as an LP but ang isang kamay nakakapit kay Binay. Binay has the edge as far as popularity is concern but as far as corruption in public service is concern ang layo ni Mar kay Binay.

Reading throughout the thread one mentioned that Aquino and Binay were “elected” as president and vice president repectively. I disagree. Aquino maybe but not Jejemon Binay. Binay was consistent with his pathetic ratings before the elections at 1%. All of a sudden he was vice president. There was a big question days before the May 2010 elections that Jejemon Binay unloaded several billions of Pesos and was able to gather a huge number of votes in the PCOS machines. Running mate Estrada asked Jejemon and Jejemon asnwered “NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES I WILL WIN THIS”

Binay is so confident because he won the vice presidential election and high trust ratings in surveys, he is way going over his head. Ngayon pa lang lumalabas na ang true colors niya.He has the gall to go against President Aquino. Kung ilalaglag siya sa puwesto niya sa gobyerno, tignan natin kung may magagawa siya!

Or the courts could decide if these decision doesn’t have any mal-influence of partisan politics or arbitrary acts to favor a group or individual or unfairness which is the cup of tea of spoiled, partisan politicians in the government.

Democracy in the nation gets awkward turns during election time.

i totally agree 100%. but what garcia is doing is not within the purview of judicial process. of course, there is no dying that she can ask relief from the court but at the same time she has to obey, without prejudice, the order of the duly constituted authority, even if she believes the sentence as arbitrary. one more thing, it is my undertanding that the gov. had aready filed her petition based on technicalitiy and not on the statement of facts.

This is why I had hoped the President would step in the Cebu scene, reverse the DILG order, and personally call in the parties involved in Malacanang for settlement of their disputes.

So, now – instead of a unified Executive Branch, battle lines are drawn between the President’s political party, and Binay’s.

Binay had from the very start made known his preference for running the DILG. By his actions now, the people can see why the President did not want him there.

if binay got what he wanted garcia could have been spared. no one belonging to hi party could have been convicted. look at zubiri, he was part of the machine cheating pemental during the last election but binay”s party welcomed him with opened arms in their senetorial line-up. does it not say something? truly, moral compass is wanting. so long as it serves his political ambition everything is ayos. ho unfortunate the country will be if he becomes the the chief executive.

I hope Vice President Binay is not committing an impeachable offense! He could be next!

Binay’s act is an open declaration of war on the President.
The DILG issued the suspension order.
Being an office within the executive branch, it is under the President.
So by extension, it was the President who issued the suspension order.

Binay is not a clean politician. He tries to make war on Noynoy but he wont survive. been in his position for three years but lacks the accomplishment. Upto now he has not accomplished any from the Realty firm Globe Asiatique, which allegedly obtained some P6.65-billion worth of housing loans from the government through “ghost borrowers. Binay and his partymates will have a hard time beating Noynoy’s team. As the saying goes, there are two things one is saying and the other is doing.

Lacks accomplishment? Not true. he has been ‘campaigning’ and reaching out to regions and sectors where he was weak in the last elections.

doublecross

they are trying to manipulate the on-going investigation. it’s not true in these kind of news. worst they get there PAYOLA in these kind of pay-for-news!!!!!! the dilg issued the suspension order, and garcia adamant to vacate her position for some reason get a political tv mileage. it’s an order, not a polical questuin in the name.

Maybe Mon Tulfo is very busy he cannot anymore clearly distinguish his covered topic like the suspension order of Gwen Garcia which he described as caused only by a “minor misdeed.” Is it still a “minor misdeed” when the Vice Governor Greg Sanchez was “inhumanly treated” such that his budget for his office was reduced to a minuscule amount that he can no longer move and do his usual official duties and the powers inherent to his office was unjustly usurped by the “power hungry” Gov. Gwen. As a result of that inhuman treatment which was “too much a man could bear,” the poor Vice Vice Governor Sanchez died a “broken man.” Because she was pampered by that “little girl” GMA before during GMA’s time she believes she is “above the law.” That’s why she sticks to her seat in her office like a “leech” although already stripped of her powers for Gov. Magpale is now the one calling the shots and holding the reign as the newly installed Governor of Cebu. But Gwen should not take for granted the “kindness” shown by Gov. Magpale. She should not misread the “the handwriting on the walls.” Because there is a limit to “human patience” and when the limit to the “maximum tolerance” is reached, Gwen should expect it because that’s what is best for her: to be “bodily removed” from her office to give peace at the Cebu Capitol and to stop once and for all, “the abusive” reign of the suspended governor which is “long overdue!”

The former mayor now( Vice President)was charged in 2006 for allegedly bypassing the bidding procedure in favor of Office Gallery International Inc.

Binay was questioned over the anomalous purchase of office fixtures and furniture for the new Makati City Hall from private contractor Office Gallery International from December 1999 to February 2000. The contract was allegedly overpriced by P3.6 million.

Binay will go the way of Villar in 2016. Just watch when the cans of worms are opened.

what vp binay and gov garcia has in common is that these 2 are both “power hunger”…

litotan

BOTH WERE ALSO SUSPENDED.

koolkid_inthehouse

Don’t vote UNA. Bunch of Political Dynasties.

That’s where the abuse of power is coming from. Garcia is a member of Political Dynasty, they should be stopped now.

litotan

TOO MUCH POWER CORRUPTS…

koolkid_inthehouse

How come vp Binay is not after illegal loggers and corrupt politicians?

the action by gov. garcia with the blessing of binay and others is really a bad– bad precedent.
just emagine, if all government employees refuse to vacate their positions after being suspended. i do not have the stat but i believe it should be many. what will happen?

Political it may seemed, Binay should have known better. If Binay has no respect at all of the law, WILL YOU VOTE FOR HIM?

Ambition, power and wealth that is all about it. I cannot choose between the two, Binay and Pinoy , kasi they both want those in a different boat nga lang. Pareho silang nagsisinungaling and disguising undre matuwid na daan, when in fact daan para sa kanila lang.

Who has rooted out corruption?

Binay has no respect for the law because the law does not seem to favor him at the moment. But bet your bottom dollar (or peso in your case) that should Binay win the presidency on 2016, he will start invoking the law because by that time he will be the most powerfult person in the country and will need the laws to keep him there. Filipino politicians truly are a shameless and corrupt bunch of creatures – no matter what their political affiliations are. And prayers truly translated into blessings then the Phils by now should be among the moost advanced and progressive nations in the entire world! But look around youand tell me what you see and smell!

Im a pro Binay- but the way he act- im changing mind now. and for Gwen- girl naog ka na day.

ano pa ang use ng batas kung di naman sinusunod ng mga mambabatas.

Vice Pres Binay knew the suspension was illegal and obviously politically motivated and Binay knows that this President modus operandi of assassinating his political opponents cannot be tolerated anymore.It’s obvious this President is promoting his best friend Mar Roxas as next President when his term ends.
